Chorus: A E I'm doing cartwheels A I'm doing cartwheels E I'm doing cartwheels Instrumental: A - E - A - E Verse 1: A E My wounds are nicely salted dear A I never got to thank you right E I was finished way before I could see A Not quite what you had in mind for me
Chorus: E I'm doing cartwheels A I'm doing cartwheels E I'm doing cartwheels Verse 2: A E Now the pessimism in me yawns A As I'm pissing on their perfect front lawns E A voice calls out behind my back A And I take off into the grounds Chorus: E I'm doing cartwheels A I'm doing cartwheels E I'm doing cartwheels Post-Chorus: C#m A E It'll all tie me up into knots C#m A E It'll all tie me up into knots Verse 3: A E I didn't mean to speak out of turn A Now you can sit and watch me squirm E The party's really in full swing A I wish I had a friend I could bring Chorus: E I'm doing cartwheels A I'm doing cartwheels E I'm doing cartwheels Verse 4: A E You're really loving this aren't you dear? A Now you've got me on the ropes out here E With nowhere else to run to now A Just stay and face the music Post-Chorus: C#m A E It'll all tie me up into knots C#m A E It'll all tie me up into knots C#m A E It'll all tie me up into knots C#m A E It'll all tie me up into knots Outro:
